Definitions

  • the present invention relates to wind turbines with floating foundations and more particularly to such wind turbines for use in offshore installations at greater water depths and under conditions where the installation is subjected to both heavy wind loads and to great dynamic forces from the movement of the sea.
  • Wind turbines for converting wind energy to electrical power have been known and applied for many years but have found a dramatically increased application as an alternative energy source during the last couple of decades. It has become common to place wind turbines together in large groups of turbines often counting hundreds of wind turbines within a restricted area. Such large collections of wind turbines can provide an environmentally less desirable solution both from an aesthetic point of view and also due to the inevitable noise problems they cause. Furthermore, the positioning of wind turbines on land may not always be an optimal placement, as it is preferable that the blades of the wind turbine be located in a laminate flow of air which is not always obtained on land due to for instance the presence of hills, woods, buildings, etc.
  • DE 100 34 847 A1 discloses a floating foundation for instance for offshore wind turbines designed for water depths of up to 100 meters.
  • This floating foundation comprises a pyramidal buoyancy body (or rather structure) with a generally quadratic base, the buoyancy structure being formed by a number of cylindrical bodies or tubes.
  • the tower of the wind turbine is placed centrally on this buoyancy structure.
  • the buoyancy structure is maintained on site by means of four tensioned tethers attached to each of the four corners of the quadratic base.
  • the tower itself penetrates the surface of the sea and extends to the base of the buoyancy structure.
  • a floating offshore wind power installation is disclosed in WO 01/73292 A1 .
  • the installation comprises a raft consisting of two cylindrical carrying pontoons acting as buoyancy bodies placed in parallel relationship to each other for carrying a tower provided with a wind turbine at its upper end.
  • the tower extends normally to the plane of the cylindrical pontoons and in order to attain sufficient stability of the connection between the tower and the pontoons, a stiffening wire extends between one end of the pontoons and a point in the vicinity of the upper end of the tower.
  • the wires between the buoyancy bodies and the top portion of the tower can not be applied in systems where the nacelle must be relatable relative to the tower, which is necessary, when the buoyancy body or -bodies are fixed to the bottom of the sea in a manner that prevents rotation of the buoyancy bodies about the longitudinal axis through the tower.
  • the solution disclosed in this document is not applicable for a wind turbine according to the present invention.
  • Such wire stiffeners would at any rate not provide a solution of satisfactory stability in systems with high towers and hence long wires.
  • a floating foundation comprising at least three submerged buoyancy bodies, each of which are connected to the tower of the wind turbine via a separate connecting member or a leg section, such that the at least three leg sections are joined with the tower by means of a common central node member positioned in such a manner relative to the buoyancy bodies that the forces taken up by the node member and the torque exerted on the node member due to wind loads on the rotor and the tower are significantly reduced compared to prior art structures, and such that the parts of the foundation penetrating the surface of the water, and hence subjected to wave loads, are kept as limited in extent as possible, thereby reducing the effect of wave loads on the foundation, compared for instance to foundations in which the tower itself penetrates the surface of the water.
  • said node member is formed as a separate body provided with suitable attachment means for the tower and for the foundation, but in principle it would also be possible to form the node member as an integral part of either the tower or the foundation. Which solution is chosen will for instance depend on the specific dimensions of the wind turbine, specific problems relating to the transport to the offshore site and the installation on site.
  • the wind turbine with tension leg foundation according to the invention is maintained on site by means of suitable anchor means or tethers extending for instance from each of the buoyancy bodies to the bottom of the sea.
  • suitable anchor means or tethers extending for instance from each of the buoyancy bodies to the bottom of the sea.
  • Preferably one tether is extended from each of the buoyancy bodies, although in principle each buoyancy body could be provided with more tethers.
  • the tethers When no horizontal forces are acting on the foundation, the tethers extend substantially vertically from the buoyancy bodies, but in practice, due to wind loads on the rotor and the tower and other horizontal forces acting on the foundation, the tethers will extend at an angle to the vertical.
  • a basic characteristic of the foundation according to the present invention is thus that the torque exerted on the rotor from the wind load is counteracted by a pair of forces in the tethers. It is.important to note that the ratio between the total buoyancy and the overall weight of the construction should be such that the tether
  • FIG. 2 and 3 A presently preferred embodiment of the invention is shown in Figures 2 and 3 .
  • a wind turbine comprising a rotor 1 and a nacelle 2 is placed at the upper end of the tower 3.
  • the lower end of the tower 3 is connected to a node member 4, from which node member three leg sections 5 extend downwardly at an angle ⁇ relative to the vertical axis Z through the tower 3.
  • the three leg sections are distributed in the horizontal plane at identical angular intervals of 120 degrees.
  • One separate buoyancy body is connected to each of the leg sections.
  • the buoyancy bodies are shown as cylindrical bodies in this embodiment, it is understood that other suitable shapes of buoyancy bodies could also be used.
  • adjacent buoyancy bodies are connected to each other by a tension member 7, for instance in the form of a pre-tensioned wire.
  • each of the separate cylindrical buoyancy bodies have their longitudinal axis coincident with the longitudinal axis of the leg sections 5, but the present invention is not limited to this.
  • Each of the buoyancy bodies 6 are anchored to the bottom of the sea by means of suitable anchor chains or tethers 8, which due to the wind load on the rotor 1 and other parts of the structure in practice will extend downwardly at an angle ⁇ relative to the vertical.
  • suitable anchor chains or tethers 8 which due to the wind load on the rotor 1 and other parts of the structure in practice will extend downwardly at an angle ⁇ relative to the vertical.
  • the angle ⁇ relative to the vertical axis Z is substantially 45 degrees, which is optimal in the sense that forces exerted on the node member are relatively uniformly distributed, resulting in moderate stress concentrations in the node member.
  • the angle between the legs and the tower is 90 degrees, considerably larger stresses in the node member will occur under heavy wind loads on the rotor and tower.
  • Typical dimensions of a wind turbine with tension leg foundation can of course vary according to the specific circumstances, typical dimensions could be: A total height of the nacelle 2 above sea level 9 of approximately 70 meter, of which the tower 3 itself could account for 45 to 50 meters.
  • the node member 4 could be positioned approximately 20 to 25 meters above sea level 9, and the length of each of the leg sections 5 would - under the assumption that the angle ⁇ relative to the vertical axis Z is approximately equal to 45 degrees - be approximately 35 to 40 meters.
  • Typical volumes of each of the buoyancy bodies 6 including the conical transition members 10 would, in order to ascertain sufficient buoyancy to always keep the tethers under tension, be approximately 250 cubic meters, of course dependent on the overall weight of the total structure as mentioned above.
  • a typical weight of the node member 4 could be in the order of 30 tons.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une fondation flottante pour éoliennes, cette fondation comprenant essentiellement au moins trois corps flottants immergés reliés à l'extrémité inférieure de la tour de l'éolienne au niveau d'un noeud commun situé largement au-dessus de la surface de la mer. Ces corps flottants sont reliés à l'élément de noeud au moyen de sections de jambe relativement fines, ce qui permet de réduire la puissance de l'onde. L'application de la fondation selon l'invention permet de réduire les concentrations et les couples de contrainte, si bien qu'il devient possible d'appliquer un poids relativement léger et, donc, d'obtenir un élément de noeud bon marché. Le poids total de la construction est par conséquent réduit ainsi que le volume des corps flottants nécessaires pour équilibrer le poids total de la construction.
